Tag Archives: working as a landscaper

Island Garden Scapes are Landscaper Gardeners located in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island on the Pacific West Coast of Canada. Our motto is…”when you do what you love and you love what you do…you are one with the landscape. Creating a perfect garden paradise. We will create a landscape (an area) or outdoor garden space in a style which requires little or no irrigation. We service all mid island BC and offer creation, design, clean up, planting, weeding, feeding, pruning, trimming, lawn maintenance and garden maintenance.

I often call myself the extreme landscaper. I love taking on BIG landscape or garden clean up jobs! Not only because I love the challenge but because I am a visual person and love the garden restoration after it is complete! The work is often tedious and painstaking and often times at the end of a work period it seems I have made no headway! But then almost magically, the garden comes to life and is revitalized. Many, many times after a garden is complete and I download the final photos and compare them with the before photos…I am amazed and energized by the garden work I have completed! This clean up was one such challenge. The pond and walkway had been overgrown for some years and it often times seems endless as it was a very detailed labour intensive job. I worked it that garden yesterday and walked the steps up past the pond and it has held up to the test of time. I completed this job a few seasons ago and still it is clean and beautiful! So very happy with the end result…and MOST importantly so are the Garden Owners! 🙂
